253 : The Print Remixby Geoff RymanISBN 0312182953 (0-312-18295-3)
Softcover, St. Martin's Press
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: '253 : The Print Remix'Book summary:Tremendously popular on the Internet, 253 is one of the year's most imaginative, unclassifiable books.
What it is:
A London tube train, with all seats occupied, carries 252 passengers. The driver makes 253. Each one has a secret history, thoughts about themselves and the world. And each one's story takes one page (comprised of exactly 253 words) in this novel.
Meet Estelle, who has fallen madly in love with Saddam Hussein; James, who anesthetizes sick gorillas for a living; and Who? a character who doesn't know where, or what, on earth he is.
Perhaps you'll see a bit of yourself in some or all of them.
This seven-and-a-half minute ride between Embankment and Elephant & Castle is highly original. And enjoyable. And unpredictable.
And full of marvels. [via]More editions of 253 : The Print Remix:

› Find signed collectible books: 'After Dachau: A Novel'Book summary:The scion of one of America's wealthiest and most respected families, Jason Tull inhabits a world that is as close to paradise as anyone could desire. He's young, rich, and free to roam the earth in pursuit of his one great passion: to find a "Golden Case" of reincarnation--a case solid enough to impress even skeptics. When he hears about a young woman named Mallory Hastings who has wakened from a brief coma with an entirely new personality (and no recollection of her former one), he feels sure he's found it. The first secret he must have from her is, of course, her true identity. If she's not Mallory Hastings, then who is she? But pulling this secret from her proves to be like pulling the pin from a hand grenade. The explosion that follows opens a crack in the smooth surface of his world that no one will ever be able to paper over. [via]

Anarchism : Arguments for and Againstby Albert MeltzerISBN 1873176570 (1-873176-57-0)
Hardcover, AK Press
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Anarchism : Arguments for and Against'Book summary:[via]This is the second revised edition of Anarchism: Arguments For and Against and was the edition that Albert Meltzer was working on at the time of his death on May 7th, 1996. This book was an important one to Albert and it was one whose arguments he came back to often in his other writings.
Albert had become increasingly concerned about what he saw as the ghettoisation of anarchism. Separated from the working class base so necessary to achieve social revolution, anarchism could easily fall into the twin traps of philosophical radicalism or revolutionary arrogance, the "we're more militant than anyone else" approach. Both stands have appeared in British anarchism alongside a sometimes demoralising and destructive incestuous approach to revolutionary change. Anarchists talk only to other anarchists and are unable to relate to the vast majority of people who are not of their belief and see anarchism as a rather exotic or illogical idea.
This then was Albert's attempt to examine arguments people may have about why anarchism can never work and to counter them. He also examines the basic tenets of anarchist thought and practice and in doing so destroys some of the myths that have been created about anarchist theory and action. It's a book fro those of us who try to win people over to our ideas in everyday life and such it is a book that tries to break down the walls of the ghetto that anarchism has become trapped in.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Apocalypse Culture'Book summary:For years I've been a little leery of this book. First published in 1987, this anthology of doomster essays has become a fixture on the bookshelves of every Tom, Pierced Dick, and Harry. After finally reading it, I have to admit that my prejudice against those who think that being cool means reading lots of ReSearch magazines kept me away from what is actually a fascinating volume, wherein the most absurd, inexcusable positions are defended with calm intelligence and witty rationality. With essays ranging from the sexual liberation of necrophiliacs to strong cases against art and agriculture, editor Adam Parfrey's collection is one that Tristan Tzara would enjoy, if he were to rise from his mouldy grave in search of good bathroom reading.

Art and Science of Dumpster Divingby John Hoffman, Ace BackwordsISBN 1893626075 (1-893626-07-5)
Softcover, Breakout Productions Inc
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Art and Science of Dumpster Diving'Book summary:"Dumpster diving" is an unfortunate term for a noble pursuit: reclaiming and reusing perfectly good things that are being thrown away by wasteful or lazy people. It is also a political act highly frowned upon in materialistic societies because it removes one from obligate consumerism. And John Hoffman has written the ultimate guide for perfecting the art. A college graduate with a good job, Hoffman doesn't have to Dumpster dive: he loves to, and lives better--and more freely--because of it. In nations like America, there is an incredible amount of great stuff--often in great shape--thrown out every day. And Hoffman tells you how to claim it as your own.
At this point, I have a confession to make: I am a sometime Dumpster diver myself. Almost all of the furniture in our house has been found abandoned on the streets in our upper-middle-class neighborhood or nearby college campuses: sofas, tables, bookcases, lamps... you name it--even some of our several household computers! Personally, I wouldn't do some of what Hoffman advocates (such as diving for food), but as in the tradition of all Loompanics Press books, this is a no-holds-barred, tell-all book that assumes its readers can make decisions appropriate to their own lives.

› Find signed collectible books: 'The City of Ember'Book summary:It is always night in the city of Ember. But there is no moon, no stars. The only light during the regular twelve hours of "day" comes from floodlamps that cast a yellowish glow over the streets of the city. Beyond are the pitch-black Unknown Regions, which no one has ever explored because an understanding of fire and electricity has been lost, and with it the idea of a Moveable Light. "Besides," they tell each other, "there is nowhere but here" Among the many other things the people of Ember have forgotten is their past and a direction for their future. For 250 years they have lived pleasantly, because there has been plenty of everything in the vast storerooms. But now there are more and more empty shelves--and more and more times when the lights flicker and go out, leaving them in terrifying blackness for long minutes. What will happen when the generator finally fails?
Twelve-year-old Doon Harrow and Lina Mayfleet seem to be the only people who are worried. They have just been assigned their life jobs--Lina as a messenger, which leads her to knowledge of some unsettling secrets, and Doon as a Pipeworker, repairing the plumbing in the tunnels under the city where a river roars through the darkness. But when Lina finds a very old paper with enigmatic "Instructions for Egress," they use the advantages of their jobs to begin to puzzle out the frightening and dangerous way to the city of light of which Lina has dreamed. As they set out on their mission, the haunting setting and breathless action of this stunning first novel will have teens clamoring for a sequel. (Ages 10 to 14) --Patty Campbell [via]

Downsidersby Neal ShustermanISBN 0689839693 (0-689-83969-3)
Softcover, Simon & Schuster
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Downsiders'Book summary:Meticulous 14-year-old Lindsay isn't exactly thrilled about moving to the chaos that she believes is New York City. Her flighty "career college student" mom, now divorced, has dumped her on her city engineer dad, "a man who lived his life twenty minutes behind schedule and in a perpetual state of apology." Lindsay is certain that nothing better awaits her than prep school boredom and constant battles with her evil stepbrother Todd. But she is wrong. Quite by accident, Lindsay discovers an unusual boy named Talon who resides in a secret city beneath New York--a kind of underground Oz called the Downside. Talon and Lindsey are fascinated by the differences in their dual worlds and soon grow equally fascinated with each other. But when Lindsay's dad's construction project hits a snag that reveals the Downside, it is not only the blooming relationship that hangs in the balance, but the entire future of the Downside as well.
Downsiders is both funny and compelling. But while Lindsay and Talon's observations of their distinct environments is humorous (Talon compares Lindsay's French braid to a "gator's tail" and, despite Talon's explanation that "time is of low importance," Lindsay still thinks it's strange that Talon wears his watch around his ankle), Neal Shusterman also uses their relationship to illustrate how much a particular culture both shapes our identity and affects how we view people from backgrounds other than our own. This call to look beneath the surface is cleverly and subtly woven through an original story with broad appeal. (Ages 10 to 16) --Jennifer Hubert [via]

The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Testby Tom WolfeISBN 0553380648 (0-553-38064-8)
Softcover, Bantam Books
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test'Book summary:They say if you remember the '60s, you weren't there. But, fortunately, Tom Wolfe was there, notebook in hand, politely declining LSD while Ken Kesey and his Merry Pranksters fomented revolution, turning America on to a dangerously playful way of thinking as their Day-Glo conveyance, Further, made the most influential bus ride since Rosa Parks's. By taking On the Road's hero Neal Cassady as his driver on the cross-country revival tour and drawing on his own training as a magician, Kesey made Further into a bully pulpit, and linked the beat epoch with hippiedom. Paul McCartney's Many Years from Now cites Kesey as a key influence on his trippy Magical Mystery Tour film. Kesey temporarily renounced his literary magic for the cause of "tootling the multitudes"--making a spectacle of himself--and Prankster Robert Stone had to flee Kesey's wild party to get his life's work done. But in those years, Kesey's life was his work, and Wolfe infinitely multiplied the multitudes who got tootled by writing this major literary-journalistic monument to a resonant pop-culture moment.
Kesey's theatrical metamorphosis from the distinguished author of One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest to the abominable shaman of the "Acid Test" soirees that launched The Grateful Dead required Wolfe's Day-Glo prose account to endure (though Kesey's own musings in Demon Box are no slouch either). Even now, Wolfe's book gives what Wolfe clearly got from Kesey: a contact high. --Tim Appelo [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas: A Savage Journey to the Heart of the American Dream'Book summary:Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is the ne plus ultra of Hunter S. Thompson and the whole gonzo clan he spawned. Written in the lurid afterglow of the 1960s, Fear and Loathing is a loosely connected series of mad dashes across the desert, trashed hotel rooms, and goofs on the brutish, naïve, or merely unhip, perpetrated by Thompson and his mammoth Samoan attorney. The pair start out high on a medicine cabinet's worth of elixirs, powders, and pills, and stay that way for 200 pages. They careen through an unsettling landscape of paranoia and alienation, but that doesn't mean the book isn't a riot. Here's a small taste: "By this time, the drink was beginning to cut the acid and my hallucinations were down to a tolerable level. The room service waiter had a vaguely reptilian cast to his features, but I was no longer seeing huge pterodactyls lumbering around the corridors in pools of fresh blood."
Though somewhat dated (it appeared serially in Rolling Stone throughout November 1971), Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is a book of real vitality and Rabelaisian wit. A document of the counterculture after it was well past ripe and deep into rot, the book is a wild ride, a paranoid ramble that is thoroughly exhilarating and worth the trip. No pun intended. [via]

London Below is a wonderfully realized shadow world, and the story plunges through it like an express passing local stations, with plenty of action and a satisfying conclusion. The story is reminiscent of Douglas Adams's The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, but Neil Gaiman's humor is much darker and his images sometimes truly horrific. Puns and allusions to everything from Paradise Lost to The Wonderful Wizard of Oz abound, but you can enjoy the book without getting all of them. Gaiman is definitely not just for graphic-novel fans anymore. --Nona Vero [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Our Band Could Be Your Life: Scenes from the American Indie Underground 1981-1991'Book summary:It was a musical revolution that happened in the midst of Reagan's 80s: a small but sprawling network of bands, labels, fanzines, radio stations and other subversives who re-shaped and re-energized American rock music with punk rock's revolutionary do-it-yourself credo. The music that resulted was deeply personal, always challenging and immensely influential. This book traces the arc of the American indie underground in the 1980s, from obscure beginnings to the point a decade later when the mainstream sat up and took notice. Beginning with the pioneering and notorious punk band, Black Flag, the story continues with the Minutemen, Mission of Burma, Minor Threat, Husker Du, the Replacements, Sonic Youth, Butthole Surfers, Big Black, Dinosaur Jr, Fugazi, Mudhoney and Beat Happening, among others. Without major label support, these bands depended on resourcefulness, creativity and an all-powerful sense of community. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Prankster and the Conspiracy: The Story of Kerry Thornley and How He Met Oswald and Inspired the Counterculture'Book summary:One of the 1960s counterculture's most fascinating characters was Kerry Wendell Thornley -- a writer, philosopher, Zen dishwasher, enlightened prankster, and, possibly, an Oswald double with disturbing ties to the Kennedy assassination. A lifelong provocateur, Thornley was linked to many of the fringe elements of the time. He helped create the spoof religion called the Discordian Society and its tract, the Principia Discordia. He coined the term "paganism" to describe various nature religions. And he befriended Robert Anton Wilson, inspired the Illuminatus, and gave his anarchic support to the Bavarian Illuminati, a brilliant prank. [via]

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Thread Of Grace'Book summary:Set in Italy during the dramatic finale of World War II, this new novel is the first in seven years by the bestselling author of The Sparrow and Children of God.
It is September 8, 1943, and fourteen-year-old Claudette Blum is learning Italian with a suitcase in her hand. She and her father are among the thousands of Jewish refugees scrambling over the Alps toward Italy, where they hope to be safe at last, now that the Italians have broken with Germany and made a separate peace with the Allies. The Blums will soon discover that Italy is anything but peaceful, as it becomes overnight an open battleground among the Nazis, the Allies, resistance fighters, Jews in hiding, and ordinary Italian civilians trying to survive.
Mary Doria Russell sets her first historical novel against this dramatic background, tracing the lives of a handful of fascinating characters. Through them, she tells the little-known but true story of the network of Italian citizens who saved the lives of forty-three thousand Jews during the war's final phase. The result of five years of meticulous research, A Thread of Grace is an ambitious, engrossing novel of ideas, history, and marvelous characters that will please Russell's many fans and earn her even more.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Artemis Fowl'Book summary:Un nouveau héros est né. Il a douze ans, est le dernier rejeton d'une dynastie de voleurs irlandais. Il vit dans un château, auprès de sa mère dont l'esprit a flanché lors de la disparition de son mari. La fortune des Fowl est au plus mal. Mais Artemis est un petit génie escorté d'un serviteur tout dévoué et doté d'une force peu commune. Voilà des atouts de poids pour faire aboutir un projet fou, qui ne pouvait germer que dans la tête d'un enfant : s'emparer de l'or des fées&
Eoin Colfer a choisi pour héros un jeune (très jeune) malfaiteur. Il fallait oser. Artemis ne s'embarrasse pas de beaucoup de scrupules et sa morale est, disons, particulière. Quand on est fils de bandit& Il n'est pourtant pas dépourvu de cSur, on le verra, ni d'humour. Quant à sa détermination, elle est peu commune. On lui emboîte le pas bien volontiers en dévorant ce roman qui mêle avec allégresse le monde des fées et celui des nouvelles technologies, informatique et magie, science-fiction et traditions, vieilles légendes irlandaises et réalité du monde moderne. Et ce polar caustique n'est que la première manche d'un combat qui promet de se poursuivre entre Artemis et le Peuple& On attend déjà la suite avec impatience, que l'on ait 12 ans, un peu moins ou& beaucoup plus. --Pascale Wester [via]

Hardcover, C. Dressler
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Herr Der Diebe'Book summary:Es gibt nicht nur in England mit Joanne K. Rowling exzellente Kinderbuchautorinnen. Cornelia Funke gehört unbestritten zu den besten Schriftstellerinnen auf diesem Sektor im deutschsprachigen Raum. Nach ihrem großen Erfolg mit Drachenreiter legt sie erneut einen dicken Schmöker vor. Ein außergewöhnliches Kinderbuch, das mit einer spannenden Geschichte aus Venedig aufwartet, der Stadt der geflügelten Löwen und verwunschenen Plätze, durchzogen von kleinen Kanälen und Wasserstraßen.
Nachdem ihre Mutter gestorben ist, haben sich die beiden Brüder Prosper, zwölf, und Bo, fünf Jahre in die Stadt der Gondeln geflüchtet. Sie wollen nicht getrennt werden, denn ihre Tante Esther möchte nur den kleinen niedlichen Bo aufnehmen. Umgehend beauftragt Tante Esther den besten Detektiv der Stadt, nach ihnen zu suchen. Zum Glück haben die beiden Jungs das praktische Mädchen Wespe und ihre drei Freunde getroffen. Alle vier hausen in einem alten, verlassenen Kino. Bei ihnen können Prosper und Bo zunächst unterschlüpfen.
Anführer der Kinder ist Scipio, der Herr der Diebe, wie er sich selbst nennt. Wenn er abends unangekündigt ins Kino schneit, mit seiner schwarzen Maske und den hochhackigen Stiefeln, verbreitet er eine Menge Respekt. Kaum einer merkt, dass Scipio kaum älter als zwölf ist. Von seinen Beutezügen versorgt er die Kinder mit Waren, die diese zu guten Preisen wieder verkaufen. Doch die Herkunft Scipios ist geheimnisvoll. Wo wohnt er wirklich?
Herr der Diebe ist eine fantasievolle Geschichte, die im Kinderbuchregal direkt neben Harry Potter einen adäquaten Platz findet. --Manuela Haselberger [via]
